Jesus Aguaje Ramos and his Buena Vista Orchestra

The Buena Vista Social Orchestra, under the direction of Jesus "Aguaje" Ramos, original orchestra leader, composer, and trombonist of The Buena Vista Social Club comes to SF for one night only. The exciting, new stage production - featuring three additional original players from throughout the history of The Buena Vista Social Club - continues the legacy of the illustrious group in 2024. Brought to the U.S. by the School of Sacred Knowledge, The Buena Vista Social Orchestra aims to keep the arts, music, and culture of Cuba alive with a colorful show featuring a repertoire pulled from the greatest hits, many of which were composed by Ramos, and deep-dive cuts, including music from the Grammy-winning, self-titled Buena Vista Social Club album, released in 1997 and enshrined into the Grammy Hall of Fame this year.

"I'm very excited to be coming to the USA leading The Buena Vista Social Orchestra!" shares Jesus "Aguaje" Ramos. "This tour will be a celebration of the music and heritage of my nation and I am honored to share it with the American people. This group of musicians is going to bring the very best of the Cuban music tradition to the stage and I couldn't be more thrilled for you all to experience it each night!"
